I just can't see Nebraska as a consistent national power, ever again.
They were so successful from the 60-90's because they were able to take homegrown 2 Star Players and turn them into productive college players, mainly because of their running attack.
But in 2020, that just doesn't work in a conference like the Big Ten because teams need to be able to pass the ball at a high level, which means competing against the Big Ten, Pac-12, ACC and SEC for quarterback talent. And when guys have zero state ties, it's a huge issue and a hump they just haven't been able get over.
And this is coming from a HUGE Tom Osbourne, Mike Rozier and Tommy Frazier fan, along with all of the other great players on those great teams.
